Quality camper
Looking for a well made truck camper for a 3/4 ton 8' bed truck. Not looking for the bells & whistles you see, looking for the built in ones. What do you guys say?

I second this as a previous Northstar owner. Well built, strong, and outstanding customer support if needed.
AF is also a quality camper but will stress your 3/4 ton.- Northstar

- Northstar
- Big foot, basement model 9'6" or 10' model do proper inspection to insure you get a good well looked after one.
- Northstar.
- Does that 20-22 also include the upgrades to the truck?
I would say most campers these days are "well made" as you can see you will get a myriad of answers.
My answer would be to go used and find a camper that will fit your truck, find a specific one for sale and ask some questions about it or do research on it. Some newer campers are wood free (less worry about rot) but will cost more. - Northstar
- Northwood builds nice RV's. So does Lance.
My Wolf Creek was 21k brand new. You can find one for less on the used market for sure. - I'll throw a vote for the AF campers. IMO the only downside is they're about the heaviest out there I believe.
I'm not brand loyal but I bought an 05 a few years ago. Way less than your budget. Took it to AK, used it for a year, typical use, but plenty of miles of horrible roads. Camped in torrential rains and down to 10-15 deg F. Never an issue with anything. Didn't have to fix a thing. Sold it up there.
Bought an 03 last year. Same thing, nice camper, everything works. Solid, dry, TV AC microwave, big fridge, etc. $10k
Either I got lucky or they're pretty decent campers.
